FURRY IN FORT WORTH AND DENVER.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May 7.-During the closing
week the stock market and the "street"
were treated to several sensations, one
being in Fort Worth and Denver City,
which jumped over fourteen points on
the covering by those who had sold the
stock short. To-day Fort Worth and
Denver City furnished a little sensation
by a sudden rise from 59B to 625, from
which point it reacted to 61t and rallied
to 60.
GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, May This was another
dull day at the Stock Exchange with bat
little feature to the dealings. Trading
was purely professional, there being no
evidence of any outside interest Beyond
the trade in New England, and some buy
ing of st. Paul preferred by those in
fuenced by the bull talk from Chicago.
The small margin between this
market and London restricted
the arbitration business. The
opening was rather heavy, though
the declines were insignificant. The
market soon developed g strong tone and
Fort Worth and Denver advanced sharp
ly, The advance halted before the end of
the first hour and the market became eX-
tremely dull with utter stagnation in
prices. This lasted until the issue of the
bank statement, when everything but St.
Paul preferred became quite weak on
increased volume of business. Fort
Worth and Denver showed the heaviest
loss. The fractional reaction was followed
by renewed weakness, but the close was
quiet and again firm. Everything except
Fort Worth and Denver which is up 2,
and ST. Paul preferred, which gained IL,
is lower this evening.
Railroad bonds were decidedly dull to-
day, while prices were generally firm,
changes being unimpOrtant.
Government bonds dull and steady.

The GLOBE hopes that its efforts to
work reform in the st. Paul boarding
houses will bring about substantial re-
suits, and that the landladies, having
knowledge of the feelings of their
bOarders. will hereafter make special
effort to please and satisfy them. This
would naturally soften the boarders'
hearts, and the ones who cook and the
ones who eat would be brought closer
of purpose would be better all around.
If the bOarders were better fed, and
more attention paid to their comfort,
there would not be SO much jumping of
board bills, and the morose, dyspeptic
fellows would vanish out of sight. Next
Sunday the GLOBE will give the land
ladies an opportunity to tell their side
of the story, and all of them are cor
daily invited to contribute.

IN A PRIVATE FAMILY.
What You Are Led to Expect in
Such Place and What You

Get.
To the Editor of the Globe.
l have gone to boarding houses, Osten-
sibly private families, where only Sc
leet few were to be taken, just because
the family was so small they wanted the
life and sparkle the boarder would give
the old castle; in other words, they
wanted some one to wake the family up
and take out occasionally the girls deS-
titute of brothers. 1t is nice to be
brother to the brOtherleSs. The lone
SOmeneSS was always expected to be
facilitated by small fee of So to 81 a
week, besides putting in S4 worth of
time in listening to the piano evenings,
lighting the gas and going out Occas
ionally for an armful of bread. cThiS is
where you get in a strictly private fam
lily with no children.) / always felt so
happy to get into such an exclusive
private family, and was so surprised at
the ample trust put in me, that l
always paid my board in adj
vance; was told it was a custom,
and that it was more con-
venient. But, after all, have come to
the conclusion that it's not the clothes
that make the man; it is what he eats.
For instance, beef makes one bullish,
poih HldhCS Illu VI pOICliic udtuIe,
and chicken gives him a tendency to
hold on. But no matter what was fed
on, was taken in and made as tone of
the family" There is no gushing joy
at boarding house. nor is there an I'M
mitigated sorrow; there is nothing to be
sorry for except that you came there.
There is neither joy nor anger. If you
have great joy the others will insist
upon sharing it with you, because they
want all they can get. There is good
deal of what people call fun, but no
great Joy such as that of which people
die. [ do not know that there is ever
any real cause for anger, though people
sometimes get mad. Some people will
get mad at the sight of an overturned
soup plate and the contents on their
clothes, while others will make remarks
which ricochet all around the room if
their orders are not served as promptly
as they would like. 10 tell you what is
served in a culinary way is beyond my
knowledge. have long since learned
it is better to eat in silence than swear
